I have a page in wich if i call the have rows in the flow of the page it works

$listaEventoskey = 'field_5b7ecd7623a2b';

this works (simplified the code and also tried like this):

while(have_rows($listaEventoskey,'option')){
      the_row();
      $thisid = get_sub_field('eventid');
      echo "i have this: $thisid<br>";
 }

but, this won’t work:

function infoEvento() {
     while(have_rows($listaEventoskey,'option')){
      the_row();
      $thisid = get_sub_field('eventid');
      echo "i have this id $thisid<br>";
    }
}
infoEvento();

update:

tried with the field name instead of the key field and it worked, kind of annoying because its better/recommended to use the key_field to update a non existing row.
